If you're in a Zoom meeting and need to get the host's attention or ask a question, the hand raise feature is a great tool. Here's how to use it:

  1. Open the Zoom meeting and click on the 'Participants' button at the bottom of the screen.
  2. A Participants panel will open on the right side of the screen. At the bottom of this panel, you'll see a 'Raise Hand' button. Click on it to raise your hand.
  3. The host will be notified that you've raised your hand and will be able to call on you when it's your turn to speak.
  4. To lower your hand, click on the 'Lower Hand' button that appears in place of the 'Raise Hand' button once you've raised your hand.

That's all there is to it! The hand raise feature is a simple but effective way to communicate with your host and fellow participants in a Zoom meeting.
